GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have gone to Spack since kindergarten and from what I gather, we are academically great for a public school. We have a diverse group and private school vibes while still being public. We have competitive sports, music, arts and academics. It can be a little too competitive here at times but you can usually find a friend. Spack is overall an amazing school and worth every tax dollar you pay.

The teachers should go through more extensive training. Administration needs to work more on preparing students for college and helping with the application process.

I loved how every teacher and faculty would try to help you when things aren't going well, and they always try to get you back on top
